Where can I get an abortion in Louisiana?

The U.S. Senate drafted its Better Care Reconciliation Act in secret, without the benefit of public hearings. And now this bill, which would affect the health care of nearly every Louisiana resident in some way, is undergoing revisions in secret with the hopes of bringing it to a vote next week.

Lift Louisiana is celebrating the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last year to strike down two onerous Texas abortion restrictions in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt with a week of action and awareness.

Across the country, politicians are using lies about abortion to pass laws that make it more difficult or even impossible for women to access abortion care.

Louisiana legislators are no exception, using their time to enact restriction after restriction trying to prevent a woman from getting abortion care, even when that means lying to her, delaying her care, requiring unnecessary tests, making care more expensive, and shutting down reproductive health clinics.

One year ago, the Supreme Court struck down anti-abortion laws that were based on lies in the case of Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt. Yet Louisiana politicians reject facts and pass anti-abortion laws based on lies.

These laws try to prevent women from accessing abortion care - they force doctors to lie to their patients, require medical professionals to provide unnecessary tests, and shut down trusted health care clinics.
